Parents who've threatened to take away computers or shut off Internet service to pull their kids away from Facebook may want to consider the solution reached by one Boston family -- cash.

Paul Baier, a research consultant, is paying his 14-year-old daughter $200 to keep off Facebook until the end of June, CNN reported.

The father and daughter even put it down in writing. Baier posted their "Facebook deactivation agreement" on his blog, Practical Sustainability:

I ____ agree to deactivate my Facebook Account from 2/4/13 to 6/26/13. In return my dad, Paul Baier, agrees to pay me $50 on 4/15/13 and $150 on 6/26/13. He/she will have access to my Facebook to change the password and to deactivate the account. This will prevent me from re-activating the account in the future. I plan to use the money for the following purposes: stuff.

The contract is signed by Baier and his daughter, whose name was redacted. Specifics such as dates and amounts and the names of the father and daughter fill blanks in the text.

The deal was "Her idea, which I support fully," Baier said on the blog.

She approached me. She has been frustrated she hasn't been able to find a babysitting job and she has been looking for ways to get cash ... So she asked, 'If I didn't use Facebook for so long would you pay me?'

Baier's daughter was at school when ABC spoke with him, but he told the network she doesn't worry about being left out by friends.

She said, 'Dad, I see my friends at school. I am in the loop and I can still text them.

Such breaks from Facebook are not unusual. According to the Pew Internet & American Life Project:

61 percent of current Facebook users say that at one time or another in the past they have voluntarily taken a break from using Facebook for a period of several weeks or more.

20 percent of the online adults who do not currently use Facebook say they once used the site but no longer do so.

8 percent of online adults who do not currently use Facebook are interested in becoming Facebook users in the future.

This family's pact came weeks after a Massachusetts mother drew up a code of conduct contract that went viral when her son received a new iPhone for Christmas.
